Dr. Kevin Land, chief medical and scientific officer of Bonfils Blood Center in Denver, will replace Kalmin on July 1.

Kalmin will relocate later this year to Georgia to supervise the QualTex facility, which provides infectious disease testing services to blood banks and plasma center customers.

QualTex was spun off from the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center in 2007.

The center, during Kalmin’s tenure, has grown from a small blood center that collected 50,000 pints of blood and generated less than $5 million in revenue 35 years ago to an operation that collected 149,000 pints of blood last year. It projects revenue of $148 million this year.
